Dr Wee challenges Guan Eng to debate after heated row over cabotage in Parliament


KUALA LUMPUR: There was a heated moment in the august House after Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam) threw the gauntlet at Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan) to have an open debate over the present national cabotage policy.

The challenge came after Lim asked Dr Wee whether the reimposition of the cabotage policy for submarine cable repair works had caused several tech giants to skip Malaysia in plans to install undersea cables to boost Internet connectivity in the region.
